Widgets let developers extend Creator&#8217;s native UI elements when the built-in components do not meet the design or interaction requirements. A widget can range from a styled metric card to an interactive data visualisation using a third-party charting library.<\/p>\n<h2>Building and Deploying Widgets<\/h2>\n<p>Widgets are developed in Creator&#8217;s Widget Studio, which provides a code editor, a live preview pane, and access to Creator&#8217;s JavaScript SDK. The SDK allows the widget to read and write form data, access the current user&#8217;s profile, and communicate with other components on the same Page. Once built, a widget is published to the application and can be reused across multiple Pages.<\/p>\n<h2>Widgets vs Custom Widgets<\/h2>\n<p>Creator has two widget concepts: built-in Page components (such as chart widgets and report widgets placed on a Page) and Custom Widgets built by developers in Widget Studio. The term Widget in the context of Pages refers to the built-in component type, while Custom Widget is the developer-created extension. Both ultimately appear as Page elements to the end user.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A Widget in Zoho Creator is a reusable UI component, built with HTML, CSS, and JavaScript, that can be embedded into Pages to extend the app&#8217;s visual interface.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","meta":{"seo_title":"Widget (Creator) | Zoho Glossary | Aaxonix","seo_description":"A Widget in Zoho Creator is a reusable UI component, built with HTML, CSS, and JavaScript, that can be embedded into Pages to extend the app's visual inter","seo_keyword":"Zoho Creator widget","seo_faqs":"","term_type":"","glossary_related":"","glossary_links":""},"glossary_category":[1258],"class_list":["post-5132","glossary","type-glossary","status-publish","hentry","glossary_category-zoho-creator"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/aaxonix.com\/resources\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/glossary\/5132","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/aaxonix.com\/resources\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/glossary"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/aaxonix.com\/resources\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/glossary"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/aaxonix.com\/resources\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=5132"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"glossary_category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/aaxonix.com\/resources\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/glossary_category?post=5132"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
